wellRED podcast - #224 - Did We Make Pygmy Goats? (Also Eric Clapton and Elvis Costello Gossip from the past)

Episode Date: June 9, 2021

This week the boys try to figure out where teeny tiny goats came from and also dig in to some old shit that Eric Clapton and Elvis Costello said (hint: it is realllllll racist)

And we thank them for sponsoring the show. Well, no, I'll just go ahead. I mean, look, I'm money dumb. Y'all know that. I've been money dumb ever, since ever, my whole life. And the modern world makes it even harder to not be money dumb, in my opinion, because used to you, you, like, had to write down everything you spent or you wouldn't know nothing. But now you got apps and stuff on your phone.

It's just like you can just, it makes it easier to lose count of, well, your count, the count every month, how much you're spending. A lot of people don't even know how much they spend on a per month basis. I'm not going to lie, I can be one of those people. Like, let me ask you right now. Skewers out, whatnot, sorry, well-read people. People across the ske universe, I should say. Do you even know how many subscriptions that you actively pay for every month or every year?

Do you even know? Do you know how much you spend on takeout or delivery? Getting a paid chauffeur for your chicken low mane? Because that's a thing that we do in this society. Do you know how much you spend on that? It's probably more than you think. But now there's an app designed to help you manage your money better, and it's called Rocket Money.

Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Rocket Money shows all your expenses in one place, including subscriptions you already forgot about. If you see a subscription, you don't want anymore, Rocket Money will help you cancel it.

Their dashboard lays out your whole financial picture, including the due dates for all your bills and the pay days. In a way that's easier for you to digest, you can even automatically create, custom budgets based on your past spending. Rocket Money's 5 million members have saved a total of $500 million in canceled subscription with members saving up to $740 a year when they use all of the apps. Premium features.

I used Rocket Money and realized that I had apparently been paying for two different language learning services that I just wasn't using. So I was like, I should know Spanish. I'll learn Spanish. and I've just been paying to learn Spanish without practicing any Spanish for, you know, pertinent two years now or something like that. Also, a fun one, I'd said it before,

but I got an app, lovely little app where you could, you know, put your friend's faces onto funny reaction gifts and stuff like that. So obviously I got it so I could put Corey's face on those two, those two like twins from the Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland movies. You know, those weren't a little like the Q-ball-looking twin fellas. Yeah, so that was money.

What was that a reply gift for? Just when I did something stupid. Something fat, I think, and stupid. Something both fat and stupid. But anyway, that was money well spent at first, but then I quit using it and was still paying for it and forgotten. If it wasn't for Rocket Money, I never would have even figured it out. So shout out to them.

They help. If you're money dumb like me, Rocket Money can help. So cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money.

They're the they're the liberal rednecks they like cornbread but sex they care way too much but don't give a fuck.

They're the liberal rednecks that makes some people. upset they got three big old dicks that you can suck. Anyways, the thing that just crossed my mind that fucked my head up was I was like, man, you know, for the past two weeks, I've had to do the podcast on the road, uh, because I've been gone. And like, but like on vacation, like at a leisurely pace, I've been gone. And I was just like, holy shit, this is how we just lived. Like, you know what I mean?

Like, like, I'm rushing to get the computer set up and like, oh, we got to record because we got to put this out. And I was like, we just, we just did this for like 45 weeks all the goddamn time. And I mean, I'm not saying it was fine, but like, Jesus, God, dude. Like, is it, is, is, is that really an insane way to live? Or is it just like now that we've had the pandemic, like, looking into it. Like, I can't, I can't, like, I almost can't put myself in a place doing that again. Like, I'm going, we're going, we will. You know what I mean? Well, I've been doing it. And right. I'm in this nice hotel beds and it's fucking terrible. Yeah, it's just, I mean, stand-up's still great.

Stand-up for sure. The raddest thing in the world, and if it wasn't, I mean, I'd quit. Right, because like I said, the past two weeks I've been gone, don't get me wrong. Like, there's been a reason that I've been gone. Like, I've, this is so stupid. I know that, like, our more Thompson fans are going to be like, really. Like, I've literally been running away from my house because that's where my dog lived, and I can't be at my house because it makes me sad.

because like you'd be you'd be really shocked. I guess when you have a dog for like 10 or 11 years, how every single activity that you do also involve them or like every single part of your house had some sort of insane memory. So I've been like, you know, maybe not in the best headspace for the past two weeks. But I have been on vacation, like resting, relaxing, not really boozing too much, working out a little bit,

which is not common as to what we used to do on the road. And I'm still like, God, damn. You know what I'm saying? Like, fuck. Maybe it's just, I just need to add the stand-up to it. Are you talking about just, like, just living on the road, essentially is what you're talking about? Just living on the road.

Dude, I mean, dude, it was absolutely brutal on me. I mean, after 18 months off, I'm very much ready to get back to it and everything. But, I mean, yeah, you know, I mean, you know how I was. Right. Well, yeah. And this particular trip that we're on, I did my fat vacation with my parents. And then I decided, well, if I'm going to go back with your, your folks, I can't do that again because I already gained 15 pounds. Like I've eaten like grilled stuff and ran and not drank.

And I'm still just like, I don't know, just being gone, son. Like, it's just, it's just something. We just became wimps, I guess, during a pandemic. I don't know. Well, I've literally never lived well. what did you say so now we lived well yeah right yeah well i was about to say i don't think i literally ever once lived right on runs when we were on the road so like i can't speak to what you're saying right now if i'd had if i'd done what you're doing or it's like i'm just eating grilled

chicken and hell i'm even going on jogs and shit right while i'm on the road and i still feel fucking terrible uh i mean i don't know wouldn't surprise me if that was my experience but i just I mean, at the very least, I was eating garbage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And staying up late, waking up early for flights or radio or whatever the hell. And almost always it was booze on top of that. So, I mean, yeah, it just fucking wiped me out. But that's my own fault.

Yeah. I would like to imagine Thompson listening right now being like, man, man, I love my dog. I love, what are you talking about? Right. I'm sure he does. But I think that if Thompson passed away, it wouldn't uh i'm in a place out of his house i dude i'm like you know i mean whenever anybody goes through any type of tragedy or grief you always go well this is my new normal this right here

is how i'm going to feel you know forever even though you know that's not true i just it is true i this sucks man like it's fucking like it's been such a bummer like every fucking it's just i mean it's just it's just 11 years with almost anything it's just like that's part of your fucking And like I can't fucking one of our nicknames for him, Amber's, she always said that he looked like a little baby bear. And then she wrote, Amber wrote this song that went to Purple Rain. And every time we would come home,

she would grab him and she would like hold him and be like, baby bear, baby bear, baby, and it was so fucking stupid. It was so dumb. It was just this thing that we did. Buddy, two days ago I'm driving to Florida. Prince came on. I had to pull the fuck over.

I pulled over. As if Purple Rain already didn't put me in some. some sort of way. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like I just don't know when this is going to be okay. But, you know, I think getting back out there doing standup will help, which by the way, everybody, go to well-read comedy.

com, sign up for the newsletter because we're getting closer and closer every day to announcing the first part of a 2021 run that I'm pretty fucking stuck about. Very brief. Whenever we get finished, we should all hang out for just a second and try to talk about that a little bit. For sure. trying to figure it out. Everybody, like Corey said, we've got actual dates.

And it's just like, I mean, hell, some of them are essentially right around the corner. But it's like just trying to get our ducks in a row, I guess, for announcing and promoting and stuff. But, yeah, getting the website back up and the links up and all that good shit. And hopefully that will happen very soon because, yeah, it's almost upon us, which hits. It does hit. Did you see it? Probably that'll happen this week. I mean, it should.

I mean, I feel like it needs to, yeah. Yeah, it should. Well, actually, I mean, it's kind of just we have like five things that we got to do. And if we do them, then it will. So yeah, we can make that happen. Expect an announcement real goddamn soon. We'll be in Atlanta, July 10th there. Yeah.

I mean, you can, yeah, you're definitely allowed to say. Hell, they can go ahead and buy those, I think. I don't know where they go, honestly. But I do know, I had a buddy text me last night and he's just like, hey, man, I just got tickets to your show in Birmingham. And I go, fucking word. He's like, yeah, and I was like, how? Like, if you don't like asking, where'd you even? Just type in well-read Atlanta.

It's the top one. There's an event-bright page, which I didn't, it's funny to me that this is not in any way. And so it's hilarious to me that event bright, that the playwright or variety playhouse Atlanta is using the same, you know, Walmart of ticket sales service that I used with me and DJ. Is that, is that the Walmart of? Eventbrite, yeah. I mean, maybe they blew up in the pandemic. Maybe they took over.

Maybe they outlasted everybody. Maybe we got them and ticket master left. I was about to say, I've definitely seen some like event bright. Those, that whole business model was very foreign to me. I don't know how it works, you know, but. You type in what you need in terms of having a link. They handle all the money and tape some of it. Oh, all right.

Well, yeah. Yeah. So business. Speaking of DJ and I will be in Huntsville, Asheville, and Atlanta, the 16th, 18th, and 19th, and 20th, Knoxville was the 20th. I said Atlanta, not Atlanta, Knoxville. But, yeah, eventbrot makes it really easy. It's just that, you know, I feel like they take more than, you know what I'm saying?

Yeah, because they may, well, they better make it real goddamn, Aisy. How was Nashville our favorite, which, hey, you know what? I will just go ahead and even though it's so far away, just so that everyone has the bug in their ear right now. Nashville, Zanis, because people keep tweeting at me and stuff like, do you ever do Nashville every year, week before Christmas, and I can't wait to get there. But how was the club? You just did that, you just did Zanis this past week, right? Phenomenal. I'm going to put some clips out this week. I'm finally getting back in the

pocket. I know you want to know about the club, but I'm going to talk about myself for a second. No, no, go on. I finally feel like a stand-up again. It was great. We filled up the bottom. The club was popping. The people who were there were so pup to be there. I will say, and this could be any number of things, but I think it's the pandemic. I have nothing to compare Nashville to, but in Knoxville, DJ and I were supposed to do a show there literally right before this shut down. Like, we canceled it the week before, and we had sold out 100 tickets. I've sold 40 on this show. It's me and DJ. It's the same venue. It might be internet fatigue.

I wasn't on Facebook much. So the algorithm's not fucking me right. But it might be people still ain't quite. The people who are ready though are so fucking ready. But I think also, I mean, I did get a few messages of like, I can't go back into the club like that yet. But, you know, I just I just don't know what will improve from here to that ever. Speaking of that, like I'm totally like when I hear someone say I'm not ready yet, that doesn't. at all. I'm like, yeah, I hear you. I get it. I totally. I totally get it. I totally 100% get it.

What I don't get, though, I guess right now are the people who are like, are you seriously about to go do a show somewhere? And I'm like, yeah, dog. You know, at this point, you know, I will say, and I told people, I was like, look, at the beginning of the pandemic, I was sort of a, I had like a, a sort of a wash of elitism fall over me, which I was just like, hey, God damn it. Everybody stay home. What are you doing? then after about a month, I was like, oh, right, everyone doesn't get to just take, like, some people literally will starve if they miss work tomorrow. Like, I was so stupid to not. And the government's not going to fucking take care of them. Nobody, their boss ain't going to take care of them. And then there for a while, I was like, I was like, look, man, some people got to go to work and you shouldn't be mad at these people.

And then it was all like, hey, we've got to bless the, bless the essential workers. And now that we're, but now that we've been about a year and a half, it's like, hey, man, even the non-essential motherfuckers, the money's run out and no more shit. coming in. So I don't know what to tell you. We're all vaccinated. We got to go back to work. You know what I'm saying? And yeah, I mean, I've said we talked about before like to me, it's like if we're not going to do that, what are we even doing with these vaccines and everything? Like we almost had the Christmas shows at Zanis this past Christmas and people got upset about that. And I understood that. I did. I didn't. Yeah. We were like, yeah, listen, we really

want to do it. But you're right. It is fucking dangerous. Whatever. And, you know, and we ended up canceling them. But at this point, I mean, I know not literally everybody can get a vaccine, but I'm just, I'm saying, like, if, if you can't get a vaccine and then once it's fully gone into effect, if you cannot then go back to some semblance of a normal life, do you know what I mean? What's happening? What are we even fucking doing here? Like, I just don't. And we're all three vaccinated, long, long since vaccinated. And I'm assuming, we're in the Illuminaity. We got it. Most of the people that come. to see us probably will be too, I would imagine.

You know, and if you are, you know, I mean, hell, it'll be fine. That's what I assumed with the people, like I said, who were there, were so pumped to be there. And we filled up the bottom, it's not, I don't want to read it as a complaint. And if they had a ticket to the last Knoxville show and you're not coming to this, I'm not mad at you. I'm just saying, I think that that's got to be a part of it. That's a 60% dip.

It can't be explained completely by the algorithm. I don't think. maybe I alienated enough people over the pandemic. Maybe that's what happened. 60%? 60%? Yeah. That sounds about right, maybe, I guess. But I'm just saying that I got a few messages.

I think some people are, I think it's the type of PTSD. Maybe they just haven't got their vaccines yet. But I think it's also like just nervous to go back into anything. Comedy club, work, life. I mean, hell, I'm nervous. No, like I said, when I hear someone saying, I'm not ready. That I literally,

I totally understand that. Like, dude, going to a, uh, we went to a restaurant last night. Like we're, we're on vacation.

And, uh, it was just, it's the first restaurant I've been to that was full bore. Like, I've been to some that were like, hey, you don't have to wear masks if you're vaccinated,

but they still had like, you know, tables were kind of apart. So it was like, all right, we're easing back in. You know, we still got our training wheels on.

And, but then last night, here's how you know they're full board. The salad bar was back, y'all. The salad bar, which I definitely thought, I was like, all right, when we get through with this, there's definitely going to be a couple things that we just leave in 2019.

You know what I'm saying? Like, just how that goes. And I just really thought I was like, I bet you the salad bar is one of them things. I bet you for sure the salad bar in some, but like, no, man, salad bar's back. By the way, it hit like a motherfucker. I'm about to say, dude,

you kind of freaking me out because I hadn't even entertained the ideas. that buffets might go the way of the do-do because of this. And I can't have that, me personally. Like, if they need to stay on the sidelines for a little while longer, that's fine. But I'm going to need buffets to come back at some point. But I'm sure they already, I mean, remember it was a big news story. I mean, Trump was still in office.

He had like a full-on buffet at some super spreader event he held or whatever. And you know, in Vegas, they ain't shutting that shit down. Well, also Golden Corral, bro. But I mean. Yeah. Right. Right. Right.

Yeah. But it's also like it's a golden corral fucking trash bags like me. So, you know. but let's talk about though how if it did go the way of the dodo like i've been out on the road with y'all yeah like you can just make it a buffet for sure yeah like i could just see it's different it's been six months make it a buffet hits different that's the yeah that's the yeah that's the and i hear you it would hit different for me the other way i make it a buffet i could see you right now mine drunk cho my show make it hit tell me yeah make it a buffet and the elitist in me that just swells up

every now and then it's definitely like yes i agree with you it should just be the rich that get to eat as much as they want like we just keep order and we keep but like i didn't mean like obviously i didn't think that through because like of course golden corral ain't going nowhere but i did think that some restaurants who like the salad bar wasn't their main attraction yeah be like okay we're just not going to do this one little part now because like i would agree with you i would like again like if it's your whole business model you'll figure it out but like this place we went like they have a salad bar and it does hit but like they're an oyster house the oysters the draw. And like, you know, at the beginning, they've got like you, you have to sanitize your hands before

you get the plate, which again, I'm all for that. But like, count the motherfuckers actually doing it. You know what I'm saying? They've got the, the snot glass up, but like that's always been there. Like, I don't know it just like, it's just one of them things that just feels different now. Like, now that we've gone through this, I can't even watch movies from the past. I watch movies from the past and I see everybody like shaking everybody's hand and touch me. And I'm like, oh, we just used to live. We just used to fucking just run around just slapping each other. You know what I mean? Like it's weird. You just run to me. I probably, I think I may, I definitely told you all this story.

And I may have told it on the podcast, but if I did it was a very long time ago. So I'm going retell it. We're talking about buffets and it reminded me of this. Me and Katie had just started Dayton. So this is like 11 years ago now or something. And we was already pregnant, right? Yeah, pretty close. Wasn't long before she was. Yeah. But, uh, I mean, real quick. But we, and this was not our first date. either because it's just trash abounds in this store, but we were at a Chinese buffet in Cookville, Tennessee, right? That's where you want to go to them.

I know, yeah, we've been together a few months or something. But I think it's our first trip to a buffet and we were pretty much done. It was like dessert time and Katie had said she had been talking about those little, you know, those little like sugar rolls they got, those little sweet rolls they got Chinese donuts? Chinese donuts, yeah, there you go. She was calling like sweet rolls or sugar rolls or something. She'd done been talking about them.

and we were going back to get the dessert round or whatever, and I'm walking behind her, and she's doing this little, like, sugar. She's, like, doing a little happy dance. Yeah, saying, like, sugar rolls or something like that. Like, she's just so excited. And in front of us walking up to the buffet is this probably 10-year-old fat kid who was walking right in front of Katie.

And, you know, the buffets are set up with all the different, like, aisles, right with the different troughs. So on the left side is the dessert trough. And on the right side is some noodles and shit. And we're walking up to that aisle in between those. And this little fat kid is in front of Katie. She's doing her happy dance. Sugar rolls.

The sugar rolls are on the very front corner. And that fat kid, as he's walking by them, he almost gets completely by them, but then just stops shivers and goes, and just explosively sneezed, like projectile sneeze. You could see all of it. it up so brightly in those lights on the buffet and just coated the Chinese donuts with it and just like and just like wiped his face and kept walking.

Yeah. And she just like her, I was standing behind her and her body language. She's just a little happy to ask that happens. She just totally deflates like just a kicked puppy, you know, and I was dying laughing. That fat kid could have been me from the past. To the future to prank her or whatever. But he was that perfect like perfect unprotected level height level do you know what I mean because they

you said the snot guard that's what made me think of it I love that's like adult height a kid is just right at open it's just open season right there and you know and there's always kids at buffets and but we didn't we just we were like oh that sucks and just kept going

but dude so many fat fucks probably came up behind us like ooh sugar rolls and just got yeah of course an easy ass and how many times have you done that, you know? It's just fast not to think about it. Here's, here's, there's, there's, there's a scenario I like thinking about right now. You, we, so like, this is a couple, several years from now, we're hitting. Tesla has been allowed to succeed at some things, and now time travel is real. And Trey Crowder, who is the new host of real time with Trey Crowder, who, so you get like all

these special Illuminati privileges, you get to time travel for the first time. and your thing is you're like, you know what I'm going to do? Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to travel back in time to my 10-year-old self. And I'm going to tell him like, hey, buddy, it gets better. Like, you don't even know. Like, just 10 years from now,

you're going to be dating a bodybuilding fitness instructor with a tight ass. I promise. Matter of fact, matter of fact, what time is it? You go to the Chinese buffet right now, me and her will be there. Okay, go the Chinese buffet. And then Fat Little Trey is walking around trying to find Katie sneezes on the Chinese donuts. And that was the first time that you ever disappointed her.

You know what I mean? Yes. But as with all time travel stories, I like a lot of it. But there's a few holes in that. 10 year old man exists in 1996, not 2009. Right. So I'd have to go back to my 10 year old self, bring his fat ass forward to 2009. That's fine.

And I would have to hide. Yeah, right, because you can't see yourself. Whatever, but I, right, exactly. But I could probably figure all that out. You know, we could work that out, I think. You're right. Yeah, it's funny you say that because right before we got on here, I was looking over like stand-up notes because I'm doing an outdoor show because I'm in

L.A. on Thursday. And that's going to be the first time I'm physically on stage. I was looking at some stand-up notes. And that one of the things that I'm going to do is a different version of that thing where I go back in time to talk to my, like, 12-year-old self or whatever. And I was literally reading that right before. this started. That's crazy. That's weird, weird wavelengths. Anyway, uh, yeah, Buffet's hit. What are the other, what casualties are we looking at here, you think? I mean, besides the

hundreds of thousands of human beings, I'm talking about like, you know, fun stuff to talk about. Like, what's, uh, um, church. I hope so it was, it was, it was already doing bad. It was, it was already, it's doing worse. Yeah, it was already on the decline, like, for real amongst young people. So, like, honestly, this could have been the final nail in the coffin for, like, the Gen Z. Z, is that, Gen Z? That's it. Yeah.

The young one. Yeah. The young one. Yeah. Yeah. The young. Yeah. I think this could have been the final, like, because they, they already weren't

wanting to go. And then for a year they didn't. Like, once you break a habit, especially one that's super don't hit, it's hard to go. Like, like, dude, you work out for eight months and then you take off a month. It's, you're not going back. what I mean? Because it don't hit. The gym will come back, though, because some people will do that like a New Year's thing,

you know, like I'm back. Oh, yeah, I've got to go for it. Oh, the gym will come back because most of those motherfuckers like, hell, they was still trying their hardest during the pandemic to go. You know, like meatheads ain't going nowhere. I think, I hope, like, positive ones, I hope, like, you know, this is cliche, but like, I hope it's a lot more of these like, you know what? There's no reason for this to be.

be a meeting. Absolutely. I'm hoping that too. Yeah. I want to get to where there's, sorry, I think I'm delayed. It's probably may. I just going to say, I want to get to where there's, do you know what? There's no reason for a Zoom.

Right. Let's just send an email and we can all say yes. For sure. Anybody works in an office setting and any kind of business setting and it all absolutely goes for show business too easily. But it's just how many times. sometimes some big people coordinate schedules to get all these different people together. And you're like, wow, this really could have been an email.

But yeah, it's even worse when it's like a physical meeting. Corey has flown out to meetings before that didn't have to be in person. And hopefully, yeah, that type of thing. People realize now like, yeah, we ain't got to fuck with all that. Yes, that would hit very old. And then we always say, it'll be fine. We'll do pictures and we'll do print. We just don't.

And we don't. None of it ever. No, every time what happens, every time what happens. I fly out there for a meeting. Number one, to defend us on the day of the meeting. If you're in, if you have a meeting in Burbank and a meeting in Santa Monica, if you had just two meetings, that's all you got. That's all you're doing.

That's your whole fucking day. You might eat lunch in the middle of those two, but maybe, maybe. And, you know, this is like, you know, oh, boo, you had a meeting. I get that. I'm just saying, like, you got two things. That's your whole day. And then you got kids. then yeah the next day when we technically could have been doing stuff i'm like we got to go to smoke

house and get a shrimp cocktail and then you know i don't have to have 15 cranberry pineapple vodkas but we do because hey the meeting went well didn't it guys didn't the meeting go well let's let's let's ruin tomorrow so yeah we're pieces of shit but like dude it is wild to think about that there was literally sometimes i flew across the goddamn continent just i'm just to be in a room for 30 minutes with people. And it sounded so normal at the time. It's like, yeah, I got to fly out. Because the powers that be or whatever,

I mean, they had the expectation of, you will come and present before us. Like, you will come to where we are, and you will physically be here. Yeah. And you will, you know, present your case to the council or whatever. And it was like,

you had to do that. And that's, but now. Well, and for the record. It hasn't been the case. And hopefully it won't go back to being the case. Before Zoom, there was a couple times when it was like an impromptu thing and there was no way I could be there.

And they would just put me up on a screen when we use one of them services. But like every time I felt like number one, I'm a dude that needs to be in the room. You know what I mean? Like my energy comes across best in the room. But also like when you're the only when you're the only motherfucker on the screen, you get left out. Everybody forgets that you're there. And then you got to like try to chime in.

But so like that sucks. But if we can go back to where everybody's on a screen, I think I think we've all gotten so used to like, dude, we just. had like, what, like last week or two weeks ago, we had like five pitch meetings in one week. I thought they were great. I thought they were awesome. Yeah, no, I hated the idea of doing all those types of things virtually when it first started because I'm also like, it's just so much different and better physically in the room. For sure. I still do. Forced to do it. But after everyone has been forced to do it. That's what we're doing. For a year, we've all kind of gotten used to it, I think, or learned how it and realized like, yeah, okay, it's fine. Or at least that's how I feel.

can I point out I agree with everything you guys are saying can I point out that that's the only ones we've failed across the board at? Yeah, no, he Corey's not talking about the ones you're talking about but I agree with you about that. Yeah, you're right on that way.

We are better in the room. Oh, and everyone is for, well, I say everyone. I'm sure there's a lot of people that are like, thank God they can't smell me. I think our gap is big is I guess what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's fair. And you're right.

Like, I do think, though, it's just me. That was, that was, those were like the first pitches we had getting used to all this stuff. I think if like we had another shot at that same thing right now, we've kind of all figured out the bug. But again, I will not deny you are fucking correct. Yeah. You know what else was, you know who else was correct, guys? The good people at Lucy when they said they could come up with a tobacco alternative that doesn't suck. That's right.

They're back. Lucy, we love them. Research and developed for three years to be made for people and not patients. Lucy has created a nicotine gum with four milligrams of nicotine that comes in three flavors, winter green, cinnamon and pomegranate, all of which hit. If you're not into that, though, they've got a lozange, also with four milligrams of nicotine in cherry ice flavor. Each and every flavor tastes great. The best thing about them to me is how convenient and discreet they are.

You can't vape anywhere that you can't smoke anymore. It defeats the purpose, in my opinion. But you can still get your Lucy on if you're at the gym or on an airplane or whatever. Who's going to tell you to stop? You and gum, not nobody. That's one of the things that hits the hardest about Lucy gum and lozenges. It's 2021. Everybody, get rid of your cigarettes, throw out your dip, get some Lucy nicotine gum or

lozenges because they are the real deal. A subscription to Lucy comes directly to your door every month. It's so simple. You don't even have to leave your house because Lucy has got delivery down.

Helix is also a sponsor of the podcast today. And what a great mattress. Guys, if you're having trouble sleeping, maybe it's the pandemic, maybe it's job, maybe it's work life.

And we thank them for sponsoring this podcast. All right. I feel like I got a, well, not got to, but I definitely want to ask, how has, how has the road been with his royal goateness, DJ Lewis? It's been phenomenal, man.

He's been, he's been, we've both been improving every show and he's getting harder to follow every time. We've done some stuff on stage together. that's been pretty magical. And he, so we do every other Friday on Zoom, most of you probably know, we have what we call the Cosby Church of Comedy, the Church of the Fruit and Fuck, our cult.

It's just a comedy show we do every Friday on Zoom. We've been also doing an art share associated with that where people show us things they make and he shows what Dre makes and all that. Well, fans have started sending us stuff. Here's one example of it. A fan took, Andy broke it, but she's going to fix it for me. used to have a posthum and a nurse right there.

But that's our podcast into the Obisket's podcast logo as a piece of three-dimensional art that a fan made. We've been bringing stuff like that with us on the road. People are bringing theirs. So instead of merch, DJ just sets up with this wild art. And the funniest thing I think I've ever seen in terms of an exchange with a Booker is DJ walking in, shoes off, looking like he does, with a giant pond, like from chess, with a wild hat. It looks like an alien for a head. Under one arm.

And what he calls Eve, which is that mannequin that they've covered in blue rabies tags and giving pink hair feather. Have you seen Eve? She's got a gnarly mask on. I don't know that I've seen Eve. Beautiful,

but it's very dark looking. Like it's got like a devil-looking mask. Did Dre make it? He's got them two. She's been in the background of a couple of Zoom calls. That's okay. Then yes, I know what you're talking about.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got them under each arm walking in as he walks, you know. And the booker's talking to me. It was, there's tickets, this. This was in Riley and blah, blah, blah. And then he goes, hey, buddy, you got a table for this.

The guy goes, is that your merch? And DJ stopped. And it was like it never occurred. He goes, no, we ain't got no merch. But hell, I guess we could trade and barter some bitch, couldn't we, buddy? Just kept walking. And I was like, that's the feature. I was very much expecting DJ to be like,

fuck you, this ain't for sale. Well, that's the same. We don't kill it, buddy. We'll trade you. Right. And he's been trading people. It's been pretty cool. He gave away a painting I made.

It was hilarious. I was like, oh, that's the first one. He goes, that's the one they wanted. I was like, all right. How's the goat been? The goat's not off the bottle. So we haven't actually brought her with us. That's now, now according to DJ.

That was such a funny way to put that because my brain, I definitely thought drunk. You know what I mean? The bobs. Yeah. Yeah. I have a little treble kick in the bottle. The goat's still in the throat.

Yeah. You know how it is out there on the road. It's hard, free booths for goats. I think, I don't know if he's going to take her on those dates that run from Huntsville, Asheville, and Knoxville. He's got to wait until she's completely off the bottle. Apparently, this is a quote from him, goats are really hard to keep alive for the first two months of their life.

But then after that, they're indestructible. Yeah. And his had a couple setbacks. That second part makes sense because, yeah, I was, that first part, I feel like that's a thing you wouldn't think. You know, I feel like, you think goats and they seem like one of those things that are just real. Let them lose. You know, yeah. It's like, oh, yeah, you just throw a goat out in the yard.

They'll figure it out, you know. Yeah, I think it's like, I think it's a nature thing, right? if humans don't fuck with them, the only ones that make it past the first couple months are indestructible. Number one. Number two, this is a pygmy goat, which,

and I'm learning all this from DJ, he learned after he got her. Like he, I mean, I think he said it. Didn't he come on the podcast and say like, yeah, man,

I thought he's going to be dipping tobacco and doing kickflips. Instead, I got a feeder of a bottle and she can't eat leaves. Right. But I think a pygmy goat makes it a little more difficult. Did we do that? Kick flips and chew tobacco?

No, not as long as I've known you. No, I mean, pigmy goats. Like, is that like a, like a poodle thing? Like, did we do? That seems unlikely. Did we invent, did we turn regular goats into pigmy goats? Yeah, yeah. Because like that.

Well, I'm just saying usually. I don't know. I don't think it seems unlikely. Why would we? I don't know why. Well, why would we? I mean, she is cute as hell. That's all the reason white people need, you know.

Right. Yeah, but white people don't fuck with goats unless they're farming. white people. Yeah, but there's some of them that's rich, like super, you know what I mean? Like, there could also be bulls.

I've always heard, you know, I mean, like, why would we do it with pigs? Except the thing is, I've always heard that, uh,

that that's actually not even really a thing, that that's like a straight up lie. You know what I'm saying? You can get like a little pet, like pop billy pig, right? It's like a miniature one. Well,

like, why would we do that other than just cuteness and you wouldn't think white people would fuck with pigs either, but that's definitely a thing that people say exists. But my understanding is, that ain't real. Those little pigs, you let them do pig shit for long enough,

let them just pig out. Pig ass all over the place. And they'll turn into regular big, fat ass pigs eventually. And that don't hit for people. I'll say that just because in nature. The goat situation could be either one of those two, I think. I mean,

whenever you hear of an animal. Maybe. Yeah. Whenever, you know, I guess like when DJ says a goat's hard to keep alive for the first two months, like if it was with its mama,

that probably wouldn't be the case. It's hard for a human to keep. keep it alive, right? Okay. I looked it up just now. So don't think I knew anything about pygmy goats because I did not. Yeah, none of us did. But pygmy goats and some other small goats, there's more than one type. There's a British pygmy and African pygmy, etc., etc. They all seem to have descended from the West African dwarf goat, which is a breeder group of domestic goats, blah, blah, blah. Anyway, it says that their dwarfism may have evolved in response to conditions in the human forest of the area and also by some degree of a resistance

to who. All right, Drew, how can you say this word? Testy-born trippipinosumosis. That's exactly right. Sleeping sickness. Yes. T-S-E-T-S-E. Y'all know that word?

P-S-E-Z-T-T-T-T-T-T-T. Oh, that's like that sauce you get on L. That's like that sauce you get on your oath. I know how it's a mean, I don't know. The T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Flies. Yeah, I always called it like SETC, but I was pulling that out of my ass. I don't know how you pronounce it. I know what you're talking about, though, yeah.

And they give, yeah, they spread that. And then the other words, I can say, if I just got tripped up on that one, tripano somias, which is a sleeping sickness. Anyway, whatever. No one gives a shit about that. It's a tiny goat. It's fucking adorable, but you got to really work hard to keep them alive for the first couple three months. Does it faint or those are completely separate?

Completely separate. Fainting goats are very different. And my understanding is that's very hard on them. And you're not supposed to do it to them on purpose. No, you're not. But if you do, it's awesome. No, you're not. And it's funny because, like, I remember me and y'all know Big Ed.

Me and Big Ed were talking. He's like, he's like, man, you ever seen them fainting goats? And I was like, yeah. And he goes, now, dude, I've since learned. You ain't supposed to do this. But goddamn, my buddy used to have a farm. He had like four or five of them fainting ghosts. We'd just go up there with a 12 pack of beer and sit there and just blast shotguns in there

and just watch them motherfuckers fall over. Yeah. I get why you would do that, and I get why you would do that irregardless of what you know, how it would affect them. I feel like, though, after the third blast, maybe I'm just a pussy.

Somebody would go, man, you think there's no help for them. No. Yeah. Yeah. Think about the old boys is doing it, dude. I was about to say, I was about to say, dude,

you're more likely to have one of them be like, you reckon I could fuck one in the amount of time. Well, dude, you got to because you get to wake back up or. Yeah. Because for the record. I wouldn't have to sleep so long because that's mine now.

Yeah, for the record, these are the same people who, like, have seen the evidence of, like, how many, like, combat soldiers don't like the 4th of July because of the fireworks setting off their PTSD. And they're still like, yeah, but how am I supposed to support them? Right. Yeah, without fireworks. So, like, no, I don't think they give a shit about the goats. That's always been. The fireworks hit for y'all? Yeah, of course.

I'm going to do it while we're on here. Oh, yeah. It's the flavored one. You're supposed to just put it on your tongue, not mix it. Look. It tastes like candy. I can absolutely do without fireworks if it's like fucking up non-vets and shit. And I know, and I don't want it, whatever.

Fireworks could be gone tomorrow and it wouldn't bother me a bit. But do they hit for me? Yeah, sure. Of course they hit for me. It's like in fireworks. I don't want to be one of those dudes who's like, well, you know what, personally, I never filmed. Bill Cosby funny anyways because it doesn't matter. But like I genuinely have always hated fireworks.

So when I found that out, I was like, well, good. Like at least now I have like, because you're nervy and jumpy and anxious. I don't like, yeah, I don't like loud. I get like, I can get, I don't have like, I'm not someone who it's like, I suffer from this every single day and therefore I must be locked in a room. But like from time to time,

if my anxiety is at a certain level, which it surprisingly usually is around July 4th, um, I get. sensory overload and like a bunch of loud shit. I don't like it and it just don't hit for me. And I particularly don't like it when it's July 7th. And everybody's like, by God, get it done with on the four.

Shoot them all the fuck off. But like in the Valley in LA, it's all the time. I want to comment though that I love Corey, genuinely that your form of support for causes just happens to line up with how you feel. Because I really identify with that when it comes to like, free the nipple feminism. Yeah. And like, like, I know this is shitty.

I know this is pervy. But every time I'm like, yes, support women showing their bodies. I'm like, fuck yeah. You know, now I will say to my credit, I don't just mean the classically hot ones. All y'all, get them out. Let's do it. Let's go. Free them nipples.

That's such a great example. Because like, I used to do a bit about that with about, about fucking breastfeeding. And how like, like, that was such an easy, like when women were mad because like, you know, they're making them go to like all these little different stations and like they're like put those up. I was like, what a great and easy cause for me to get behind that has nothing to do with me actually supporting women. You know what I mean? Like, and that's so true. Like I can get behind the like, yeah, I can say all day that it's because I'm supporting the truth.

But realistically, I didn't fucking like them anyways. But now I can attach myself to this like greater thing. And there's so, yeah, there's so many things that I genuine, I believe in. But like it had not one thing to do with like the reason you should believe in it. I just happened to believe in it. Realistically, fuck the troops and fuck women. Cory Forrester. You guys heard of here first.

It's a great t-shirt. Especially the realistically across the top. Like a little bubble letter from the 70s. I mean, I feel like in a macro sense, the broad strokes of the shit that I believe in kind of just worked out that way. You know what I mean? Like, meaning like I genuinely, especially considering I grew up in Salina, just like with y'all, like, I didn't know like what. side it was going to place me on and feel away about a thing or whatever when I decided to feel that way when I was younger. Do you know what I mean? But yeah, I just did. But let's

let's parse it between other people and yourself. And I'm not like we all have very selfish reasons for doing things. But whether you knew what side would fall on or not, I think a lot of your stuff, like you've talked about gay rights because you're uncles because you cared about him, not yourself. Corey and I are joking about things we care about just because we just because it hits for us to for it to be that way does that make sense right yeah yeah yeah like the gay thing you just got to be a good person i'd like you but i don't think you're all of it right no yeah yeah for sure but like i'm saying like uh if you let hypothetically if you didn't know if you had no idea that fireworks triggered troops PTSD if you had no idea that that was

true and you love fireworks. I wouldn't think you're a bad person for loving the fireworks. You know what I'm saying? But like with gay, I don't think you should have to know someone who's gay before you're like, but I think that everybody should be able to live and stuff like that. Like it is a little bit different. Like I'm, I'm just able to hop on a soapbox because I'm not, I'm not making a concession because I fucking don't like fireworks. You know, if I was super into fireworks and I, like, I do think that I'd be like, okay, here's part of. of your life that you're going to have to just get rid of because it's conflicting with the moral thing. But like so almost none of my things I've had to make concessions on is what I'm saying.

Like I haven't really had to change much about who I am. I'm sure there's a lot of people who like, you know, have lost some words that were very dear to them. You know what I'm saying? Okay. I've made a couple concessions. You're right. I just taught myself into it. That's insane.

You keep eating chick filet. Yep. Yep. But there you go. There you go. And Trey, it's a good example. Trey didn't like chick flay. I was about to say that.

Yes, I was about to say, that is a good example for me, but in reverse. When all the Chick-fil-A shit happened, that was very easy for me because hard for people to believe. I genuinely never liked chick-fell-up, just their food. I never liked it, and I still don't. So when all that happened, it aligned very fortuitously with my, you know, political opinion. So it was super easy for me to be like, yeah, fuck Chick-fil-A. But I was telling y'all at the time, though, I was like, but do. look, if Taco Bell do some shit,

I just hope Uncle Tim can forgive me. No, I know. Because for me, it's just true. For me, it's just true, but like for me, we only had, like, chick flay was bar none

the best chicken sandwich you could get. Like, this was before the chicken sandwich wars started. Yeah. You know what I mean? Which, by the way, dude, how great are those reenactments going to be? Yeah.

That's harder than the culture wars. Yeah, but like, I'm saying, like, the Chick-fil-A- far in away the best sandwich I had access to. Like if Popeyes was already doing their thing, I'd have been like, fuck them. You know what I'm saying? But like, yeah, yeah, that's so like, that's exactly it.

But for the most part, like, so many of my beliefs that I truly believe, like, you're right. I didn't have to make no concession because it was like, and I never believed them because I thought this falls on this particular line. It's just like, that's how I already felt therefore, fuck them. But like,

I never hated fireworks because it's not like I thought it out and was like, I bet you troops don't like. this so I don't like them like that's not what I did but I did that joke during our Zoom one of our Zoom shows about Shia LaBouf was the first cancellation that was hard for me like it was really fun for me when like fucking um nah god damn it I'm popa jose costello Elvis Costello it was like some thing in the 70s he just said a bunch of openly very racist shit all the time and people brought it back up I'm like I can't stand that motherfucker anyway yeah it's like what was it Elvis Costello was it, because I know for a fact for sure that Eric Clapton also did that.

But I don't remember Eric Clapton getting like. And my joke was both. It was both. All right. Yeah. Yeah. I never heard that about Costello. I don't give a shit about him either musically and I totally can believe it.

That's fine. But Eric Clapton, I remember that being a thing. I remember finding out that he would like on stage just go like full bore white supremacy shit. Like back in the day? Yeah. Like he was huge. Like on stage. he would just get into some wild racist shit.

That's crazy. Because I know that him, like him and fucking Van Morrison broke my heart when they did like, they wrote some super shitty song about about the fucking lockdown and how like, you know, like the masks are like oppression and like we're all Jews. I mean, it wasn't none of that.

I'm just, I'm spitball on here, but like the song. That was the name of the album. That was the album. Not the song. We're all Jews. We're the Jews now.

Yeah. But yeah, like, so I knew, I was like, yeah, I bet Eric Clapton's been on some fuck shit, but like, can you know, like, it's like, of course some people in the 70s who are probably decent people now has some thoughts that like they had to kind of put through some tests. But it's so, I guess it's nice to know that Eric Clapton's at least always been that way. You know what I mean? Like he didn't snap. Everybody's got a joke about

it being robots. But what sincerely are views, wait, we've done this before. Never mind. We've done it before. Like, what will we be problematic about? I think. we arrived at like veganism and the environment. Like vegetarianism being better for the environment. All the different kinds of sexuality like way beyond like all the different versions of being blank sexual and like I just don't get. Just having to keep up with it. Yeah.

And keeping up with it, I get it. But like you don't, you also don't have to keep up with it. Yeah, you know what I mean? I think if you just don't care, you're good, right? Yeah, yeah. That's my change. I guess I could see that change as long as you just don't care. Yeah.

I think you're genius. Because that's my thing too. like me saying oh i didn't know that existed isn't me isn't an indictment of the thing it was just like i'm just being real like there's a lot of news now but by the way do your fucking thing i don't give a shit like that's totally i think that's fine because like that's the thing that like bothers me the most about some of those people they're like i got to know this and i got to know this is like dude you didn't you you you haven't known anything forever it's fine you've never known and you've been okay like like uh like you know i've used this exam and i've used this examines you're

was like you like fucking my dad and his buddies they only hang out with each other that's all that that's all they hang out with and they say this they're like you can't say this anymore and this anymore and so i'm like first off you just did and secondly is scott gonna tell you not to because i don't think you're like other than that you're not really going in workshopping it every every other place he says shit at is like at cracker barrel or hooters and they're paid to let you just say it and then they'll bitch it somebody later like nobody cares they've canceled me off of my local parent teacher conference Facebook group no they didn't no they didn't no they didn't hop on there and also good for you I would I would love to be like we're not allowing you to come to the PTA meetings no more that's got that's the best gig in the world but yeah it doesn't make sense like honest

because honestly God the people who the people who more than anybody actually do kind of have to keep up with it is us you know what I mean because of our job you mean of our job. We get to keep up with the times. I saw this isn't my thing. I saw a meme making this point where I don't remember they broke it down.

It was like a Venn diagram type of thing or something, but it was like people who tell you their pronouns when you didn't ask them. And it was like 90% people who are trying to be ironic because they think they have to tell you their pronouns without asking now. And it was like 90% people making fun of those people, you know, trying to do it ironically. And then it was like, anyway. No, I'm with... It's not that hard, I guess, is my own thing. It's just not that hard.

Also, I don't think it's that hard to just, if you fuck up and you, like, if you hurt somebody's feelings and you didn't realize, just to be like, oh, wow, I didn't know that was a thing. I'm genuinely very sorry. Instead of the reaction being like, oh, fuck you. Why don't you go jump off a bridge? Like, just, I don't get it. Now, granted, on the other side of that, I don't, I know.

never want to be the dude that's like there's people on both but like on the other side of that if like hypothetically someone misgenders you or mispronouns you and then you're like um actually blah blah blah and they go oh i'm sorry and then and then if you continue to be an asshole to them it's like look they made a mistake you know what i mean they like that it's it's that's shit's going to happen like you know what i'm saying like if you're wearing a fucking big johnson t-shirt and i say what's up dude you know what i mean like i don't know i thought you a dude. If you're like, actually I'm not, it's fine.

I don't think anybody in a Big Johnson t-shirts ever been offended by being called dude ever. Right. But I think that from, I guess just making it completely of your own purview, I don't know what it feels like to be trans and here's someone ironically, jokingly go, oh, pronouns are he, him. I guess you need to know that. But as a comedian, I've never wanted to murder a motherfucker more in my life.

Just like, oh, I guess you know. Shut the fuck up. No, you don't. Be conservative and shitty and aggressive, fine. But, like, write a joke. Right. You dumb motherfucker. You stupid piece of garbage.

Sorry. And it, no, no, no, dude, I could not agree with you more because for the most part, it's like when people say that, oh, I guess nowadays you have to blah, blah, blah. It's like, you're the only one that's doing that. Everyone was fine with you just walking in here and saying, I'll have the salad bar. But you had to be like, I'm having the side. Is it okay that I identify as a? vegetarian today.

Fucking, do I have to tell you that? You're the one doing it. Everybody else is a bullet. Jump in your brain. Everyone else is just shaving half of their head and listening to good music. Like, nobody's actually saying stuff. You know what I mean? Andy left.

She went to the dog part, but she's good. Thanks for asking. Like, nobody gives a fuck. I know we've since gotten away from this, but just because we have a bit of a history on the show for our long-term listeners, they know. Oh, we fucked up. Saying, no, not, no, not really.

But because we have a history on the show of being wildly erroneous when it comes to anecdotes about famous musicians or celebrities, they've been dead, they've been fucking pedophilic, Lord. I just told this one on stage, so I looked it up. Yeah, but so just because that has happened before we invoked, Eric Clapton and Elvis Costello, talking about a racist they used to be, and I Google both of those things. And I'm going to read them briefly here just a quick explanation.

This is, this is their Clapton tweet quote. that's from a rant he did on stage when he was hitting real hard in the 70s, but it's censored, which is probably a good thing, because I'm assuming of these words are censored for a reason. When I say blank, when I say blank, I literally don't know what it says.

Just put your favorite slur in. Yeah, exactly. And so it's not clear. Let me tell you something. He's not just sticking to the classics here, I don't think. He's branching out a little bit, and you'll see what I mean when I get into it. However your brain finishes it, I bet that's what it was.

He's brished, so it really comes some wild shit. I know, that's what I'm saying. They get wild with the slurs and stuff over there. So, yeah, right. They're behind us in everything. You know what I'm saying? Like, we would have. This is, it's not it.

But it would be so funny if he's just talking about the Irish time on stage. He's not. Listen, I'll read it. Jamaicans don't belong here. We don't want Jamaicans here. This is England. This is a white country. We don't want any black blank or blank.

So black this or black that. Wow. Honestly, now that you've given me an option. I think it was men or women. Yeah. I doubt it. Yeah, but anyway, we need to make clear to them that they are not welcome. England is for white people, man.

This is Great Britain, a white country. What has happened to us for fuck's sake? I'm putting the fuck in there. It also is censored. Throw the blanks out. Keep Britain white. Pretty clear cut. That was Eric Clapton.

And again, so I want to do Elvis Costello. You know, British phrases. So sometimes we just say keep Britain white, but we're just having a cost. I have no idea what Eric Clapton actually talks like. That wasn't me attempting to actually do what Eric Clapton sounds like because I don't know how he talks. I genuinely love that in Trey's mind, the problem people may have with what's happening now is that he was in the region of England. That was more of a Brummey accent that he was doing. What other problem could they have?

I'm just ready to news here. Goddammit, this is what happened. That was a perfect British accent. Okay. Yeah, anyway, I want to tell you what happened with Costello and then talk a little bit more about each before we close up here and why I think it's okay that's a little bit different because what Corey said about Van Morrison a minute ago. Costello in 1979 was drunk with a bunch of other bands and shit and they were drunk and talking shit. And Costello was the other guy, other band, it was backing singer Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie fame. I don't know, but I guess Bonnie's American is the point.

They're drunkenly arguing with each other in like a green room or something about Britain versus America music-wise. Okay. I was about say, we already did that. Costello's talking shit about American musicians and in the course of doing that, he while drunk as fuck, referred to James Brown as a jive-assed N-word and Ray Charles as a blind, ignorant, in-word, right? But in response, Bonnie Bramlett bitch slapped Elvis Costello and a big brawl broke out, which is broken up by the bartender. The thing is, I feel like when these things come up, maybe I'm wrong, we're young bloods,

comparatively speaking. And I feel like when these things come up, it's like people are, oh, shit, people didn't know. You think in your head like this was just fine in the 70s. Right, right. But they did it back then because they could get away with it. And now they're being brought to task for it. But in both cases, that's not. what happened. They were fucking

full on racist. Both of them were. Oh, okay. For these instances in the steps. So I'm just saying like, cancel culture didn't invent the shit. Exactly. Like in the 70s, both Clapton and Costello at the time this happened, got crucified. And I'm sure.

They got death threats. Eric, it prompted some like rock against racism counter movement in response where all these like it was, both these things were huge. Now, Costello over 35 years, it's continued to come up. I bet.

I go away and then resurfaced. It's continued to come up. He's continued to answer for it. He's apologized to many times. I was hammered drunk. I was trying to be funny. It was ridiculous. You can't do that.

I know that. I'm sorry. Quest love fucks with Costello now and other people. I feel like Ray Charles forgave him, yada, yada, all that happened. I feel like he kind of like made amends as well as you could. It seems like from reading this. Whereas, based on what course said about Eric Clapton earlier, Eric Clapton is still out there doing it, right?

you said him and Van Morrison's out here talking shit about masks. Yeah. Like he's still in the game. I've seen it seems like. I got a couple notes. That's my take on the whole situation. Couple notes. First off,

props to Bonnie. Secondly, I think that most American women could beat the shit out of Elvis Costello. For sure. Absolutely. Number two. I'm sending you a picture of the American woman who did it as a mamma with a mullet. And it's for some reason taking forever to come through.

And then you can share it on your screen. Bonnie, I would have paid a thousand dollars to see her slap the fuck out of Elvis Costello. So here's my thing, though, is like if I'm Ray Charles and James Brown, like hypothetically, they made amends or whatever. He's like, hey, sorry for the N-word. I feel like I still would be like, okay, but what about the jive-ass and ignorant part? You know what I mean? Like, dude, don't even wrong.

You definitely shouldn't have said the N-word. but like it's not like you said Ray Charles that's my in what I'm saying like what about that first part because really like that was just the exclamation point on what was otherwise an indictment of my talent which by the way I don't know if you know this both them motherfuckers hit so much harder than Elvis Costello right look Elvis Costello as a label record company and crew man that really sucks because I want I've always wanted to hole yeah I would love to watch her She looks like John Daly. Did you see it right? Corey's screen share and show the people. Hold on. Look that. Oh my goodness.

When is that from, though? Yeah, that ain't when she slapped it. Yeah, that's like a recent picture of her when I pulled up her name. It still hits, though. Slap is she don't take no shit. I mean, there's some great ones of her as a 25-year-old with like big at fucking, you know, Elton John. I about said John L.

L.A. glasses. Elton John L.A. glasses. You got a John L.A. Gaffin her teeth. That's part of why. Oh, that's fucking great. Speaking of John Elway, go Titans, huh? Hell yeah. Holyo, baby.

I'm pretty excited for... Now there's just so much pressure on us to do better, though. It's like really... I don't think they'll ever be all that much pressure on the Titans, frankly. I think... The rest of, like, the football world, even when modes like this, just does not give a fuck about the... Dude, which I'm kind of fine with what you're talking about right now,

like, because their pressure isn't as great. Yeah, speaking as a Georgia fan, like, it's ultimate... it's ultimately more like at the end of the year when we fuck up. It's like obviously more disappointing because we almost got there. But also from like all the fuel everybody else has like, oh, was this y'all's year? Was this y'all's year? Like with the Titans,

I haven't ever really felt like that. Like honestly, everything has just kind of been gravy since track and Cidobie. You know what I mean? Like we expect nothing ever. When we when we fucking beat the Patriots, I literally, that's the most,

not even for, not even for a fucking Super Bowl. And I'm not like a Tom Brady hater, but like that moment just because it was like oh this is great like I'm fine with this like if we don't win i would love it if we won the super bowl but i can definitely hang my hat on that this year if it was Georgia and they beat Alabama in the SEC championship I would my brain would be going like all right but we got to get the next one otherwise I'm not satisfied with the titans just doing that I was like hey but yeah my my titans fan brain also was already thinking about like they're not the same

they are not on the same level and I'm not saying they're not saying they're are. But last offseason at this same point in time, probably the biggest free agent that was out there was Jadavion Clowny, who ended up signing with the Titans, and that was a big deal at the time. He barely played last year, and when he played, he was just fine at best. Randy Moss came to the Titans back in the day. Julio's younger than him, but not as much younger than him as you'd think probably. Julio is 32 and was injured last year. I'm just setting myself up to be ultimately disappointed. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I hear you. I think, I think, I think. I think there there wasn't an AJ Brown on the other side.

Or Ryan Tannenhill, throw on the ball. Go ahead, dress. I think that you guys are saying what I was trying to say and I expressed it poorly because I said expectations as if I meant from the outside of world. I'm saying that this gave me hope. And then that was followed immediately by me thinking, man, the letdown's going to hurt more. Yeah, right. No, I hear you.

For sure. But dude, but the thing is like I, I, you know how many fucking, you are many fucking people. I tweeted about it, of course. Like, you know, hell yeah, Julio, glad to have you, yada, yada. How many people are like, you do realize that he's still got Tannahill throw into him, right? The fucking, the fucking disrespect. Those people clearly don't watch football. Dude, there is a lot.

You're right. On all the threat, it's not just people following you on any threat about this. There's a million people being like, yeah, but Tanyhill's the quarterback. It's like, okay, you clearly don't actually watch football. Or you've never ever seen a Titans game at the very least because Ryan Tangeril has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league ever since he got the job. in Nashville halfway through the season before last. And I'm talking about I don't care how you measure that. Statistics, whatever, fucking look it up.

He's right up there in the top five with the very best in the league since then. And he hits like a motherfucker and I kiss me. I am very guilty. And I think a lot of sports fans are of you see a guy. Buck suck at the offense. Book gets written on people. Thank you who he is. And if he's not on your team.

Right. Yes. And not even sucking. This happened with me and Smart Mark and, Luca. I knew Luca was good, but I hadn't seen him play this year. And we were talking at a bar and I was like, I just, I just don't know if he's really that guy. And he was, have you this year finally after like a 30 argument? And I was like, oh, not really. Why up to the level? And then he's like, I started looking up stats and it was like, oh, if you're not a part of a fan base, it takes you a

year or two for sure. To catch up to the truth. Yeah, for sure. And I'm just, there's a tendency for people for the book gets written on a lot of players early in both directions like i was saying jadavion clowny like he's kind of as as of last off season the reason he was a big free agent acquisition was just like he was still kind of coasting off his college career and being drafted number one overall like he was fine he's good he's good but people were acting like he's you know fucking kaleel mack or von miller or something and he wasn't but like people he the book got written on him he's a fucking monster and so a lot of like casual people still think that that guy's a monster and the inverse is true with tannahill and miami people are like yeah this guy ain't got it

and so and it's like and that's just what it is now to them in their head he just ain't got it and i'm sure night and day in nashville i'm sure that now like miami i know everybody keeps showing that one screen fucking past that he fucked up and it's like okay we all have a bad day but like i agree i would argue that uh belichick's one of his main things that he's great at is being better than the league at what he just talked about. Yeah, 100% fully. Yep. Yeah.

No one who's underrated and who's overrated. Knowing who the book was wrong on. Right. Yeah, for sure. And I'm sure, though, that like, now that, as Drew said, in this is a part of your, like, it usually, it takes people that aren't a fan of the team a year to realize that I'm sure now that everybody will have, be focused on Tann Hill.

Like, let's see if he's got it. Now that he's got Julio, he's, the honeymoon's over. And I'm sure that he'll fuck up. And it's going to be his worst season ever. And he's going to throw 28 picks. I mean like, there it is. I mean, you know, it's just at the end of the day. I don't know, though.

Like here's, look, here's my prediction. I'm going to say it right now. It's recorded. Now, here's my real prediction. Tanna, at the end of this year, Tann Hill is the league MVP. Titans go to the Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl where Derek Henry is the Super Bowl MVP. And then after that, coach Vrabel spreads his butt cheeks and playgirl. As Mike Concho Vrable.

You heard her here first, baby. I'm down with that. All the predictions. I would totally pay to see him naked, by the way. I wouldn't bet against any of those. I bet Rayble get naked for pretty cheap. I guarantee you can't do because, like, man, he looks good and, like, people will be saying it all the time. Like, he's dying to pull his dick out, dude.

Oh, yeah. And absolutely. Big Dick Rable. All right. Put it on the table. Thank you all for listening to the. Why can't I? Thank you all for listening to the.

well red show we'd love to stick around longer but we got to go tune in next week if you got nothing to do thank you god bless you good night and skew good night and skew all right uh bye everybody bye everybody they're the liberal red necks they like corn bread but sex they care way too much but don't give a thud they're the They have a rednecks that makes some people upset But they got three big old dicks that you can suck
